- They say it is the journey, not the destination that counts, and that is proving true for us. Follow along as we cross continents in search of a boat to cross oceans. From the San Juan Islands to the Windwards of the Caribbean.

We do eat GOOD on Sabado!😂 Love you guys, happy to have you aboard. Good things happen to good people, stay strong! ⛵️❤️
Hey! My name is Ray, and my wife is Holly! I saw your comment and thought my wife had been on here or something. What are the odds!
Gotta have that recipe
Instant sub, @HollyandRay! Looking forward to your adventures!
The O'Kellys needed that 😉....Good ❤'d people stand out!.... Kudos to you two. 👍🛟⚓️
You eat “well” not good😂
Things happen for a reason: While you're busy focusing on what you think is important, the really essential stuff happens. Just like the time with Holly and Ray.
Truth
If the boat search doesnt work out, maybe start a side YT channel reviewing airlines. You guys have clocked huge kms in this search. This one must be it.
lol
Killing me! I sold my Lagoon 42 a year ago, miss it everyday. Best boat ever.
Love watching Holly and Ray, great to see you guys enjoying each other's company. I really hope you eventually find the boat you're looking for.
One of my favorite things about you both is the community of people that you've attracted. I could have spent a month talking all things sailing with you both--3 hours wasn't enough time 😅--but getting a chance to interact with you both finally in person and meeting up with fellow patrons and cruisers was such a wholesome and enjoyable experience. Definitely a highlight of my sailing adventures! (pro tip: if Nick asks you "how much do you know about meteorology?" before explaining something weather related, unless you have a degree in the field, the correct answer is "very little" 😂)
Thank you for connecting us and bringing us along with you on your journey. Greetings from Albion 🦮 & Michael on Endeavour,..hope to see you out on the water again very soon. 🙏💛⛵
P.S. @HollyandRay I know we were upwind, but I'm pretty sure we could smell those tacos cooking...that looked amazing 😋
We’ll invite you over next time! 😉
I saw the crab on the bed and realized, that's Holly and Ray's boat! I watch them!
Woohoo! 🫶🏼
Congradulations on a continued search. What ever the survey found--at least you found it and didn't buy the money pit. Another really good boat is in your future. Chin up, we are all with you.
I have never seen The Holly and Ray channel but the food they prepare looks like eating in an expensive restaurant every meal! Hope you find your dream boat soon.
I was happy for you, seeing you on a sailboat. Even though it was just a day sail. The bright side of what you have been going through is the many lessons to be learnt about buying a boat. When it does happen, it’ll be so worth the wait.
You two have the patience of Jobe! Thank goodness for such great friends you have all over the world, taking you in and letting you get some boat time while on your search.
We are lucky to have such good friends who have our backs!
Happy you spent time with Holly and Ray. Love their channel. 🎉
We were just in Grenada at LTD learning to sail….
AND we meet Holly and Ray!!!!
❤❤❤
While on Sabado with Holly and Ray Your smiles are as broad as the Horizon as this makes it refreshingly evident that you belong as the Future caretakers of “Your new boat” that is out there somewhere. The editing, visuals , music and choreography of your channel is Fantastic~ soon to add Boat Life.
Best Regards,
~Mark
Boat or no boat you guys do an awesome job with these videos !
Kind of you to say!
Glad to hear from you. We driven up to Victoria BC twice now from central Texas. Our impression is that the Pacific NW is incredible. Good luck on the boat search. Looking forward to your next video.
I'm new to your channel and only watched a few episodes, I'll go back and watch the earlier ones as some point, but I subscribed so I could watch as you search & purchase your new boat and then follow your upcoming adventures. However, I really enjoyed this episode as I'm from the Kitsap Peninsula and knew all the places you visited in the video. More then that, while you were on the Liberty Bay Marina Pier in Poulsbo looking at the trimaran, my old office was just over your shoulder. The first floor window under the staircase heading up to the second floor was were I had my desk. I'm sure you can attest by how beautiful the view is from there, that you would understand why I never got much work done as most of my time was spent looking out that window. Thanks for the memory and good luck with your search. I'll be watching 🙂
It’s not the destination, but the journey. So true for you guys
Keep your eyes out for Nahoa. Ben and Ashley should be in Grenada in a few days (?) They are just completing their circumnavigation.
It was nice seeing Port Townsend from a different perspective. I am so used to seeing it from Vancouver Island. I am going to have to go get a closer look.
Thanks for the quick tour of PT, love that place, heading that way in September
Always entertaining to watch you two even without a boat of your own. Best of luck on your ongoing search. It will appear, of this I have no doubt.
I have been rooting for you two for so long. I check for a "we bought a boat" video EVERY day! I can't wait to see your new boat.
It is not for a lack of trying
@@TheOKellyspretty much the understatement of the year right there!
You guys have a gift for entertaining!! Thank you for letting us come on your life’s journey! Met you both in Annapolis couple years ago, very genuine and real. Can’t wait to see what both you get! Never quit Never give up ❤️
I love that you stay true to your compass. Thanks for your professionalism in all you do.
Holy cow - that food looked NEXT LEVEL!!
We were coming off a great weekend, six adults on a 34' Catalina and decided we needed something a wee bit bigger and started looking, and looking, and... then, frustrated, on a Saturday about a year in hubby says "we'll make do, get a composting head, do this, do that--- stop looking" and I'm like o.k. Next day he casually walks by and says "I think I found our boat". We bought her sight unseen with a survey but due to Covid, health issues, and a sudden move from Ontario to Nova Scotia, hubby is only seeing her this week for the first time- in Rhode Island of all places- I am at home and haven't seen her yet! You do weird things to follow your dreams, try different avenues and along the way magic happens. Hubby reports that our 1979 41' CC Ketch is better than he thought it would be by far and he's met the owners who had done all the heavy lifting on her for 20 years. You'll find that boat that speaks to your spirit and in the meantime we get to live vicariously through you and tag along with your adventures. Great content as usual!
C&C Great Racer Cruisers............had a 29 and the 41..........best bank for the buck I think! Cheers Tim........SV ARCHANGEL, FREEDOM 39 Pilothouse Schooner...........laying on the Hook......Thom's Place, Wrangell Island ALASKA..............best wishes!
@@happysaylar8263 oh how awesome!!!
Now you have our curiosity up over which boat you looked at. Since you were in Clark’s Court it means we would have looked at the same boat as well during our search. Luckily we found exactly the boat and situation we were looking for with Zia and now in the early stages of our refit in Guatemala. Keep hunting, your boat is out there!
Thanks for sharing your adventures. A great boat is out there , I just know it.
Remember, it’s the journey, not the destination.
🙂🐿🌈❤️
Very true!
I finally just bought my first boat. A cat 27. It's definitely a learning experience, the first night on the hook was 60 mph gusts.
Was nice to see you actually having a good time on a boat again... even if it wasn't yours. 🙃
Yep - everything felt right again
Wahoo! Another couple of boats off the list!
Thanks for another update! Glad you got some water time!
I like the fact that you both are taking your time choosing the right boat .others may have other ideas. Buying a boat that's a lemon can cost you more than just money .
Oh man I don’t remember how far behind your videos are from real time but we finally moved onto our Salona 44 that’s been in Anacortes. We love this little town. 2nd only to Roche Harbor. The wooden people hanging on the sides of the buildings here always make me jump.😂 We head south for the start of our circumnavigation this fall.
Oooh! Good to see a video from my favourite couple! It is good to see your positive mindset. I do wish you a very good boat!
Pity about the potential boat, surveyors rule. Lovely vibe on Sabado!
Hi Guy’s, don’t let down, the reward will be AMAZING. You will get your dream Catamaran. Was so great to see you with Holly and Ray, they are fantastic. Can
❤❤
Great things happen to great people!
You guys are too much. I feel so bad that these deals are falling apart. You need to be on the water. Buying a boat is not easy when you know what what your doing and what to look for.
I listen to every word you say because I'm looking to retire on a yacht. I want a 50 to 55 footer catch cutter rig. Love your channel.👍👍👍👍👍
As Carly said:
Anticipation, anticipation
Is making me late
Is keeping me waiting
But we don't mind the wait!
I was wondering how you two were doing. Thanks for the update. You have certainly put a lot of effort into the boat search. It's turning into a quest.. Have you ever sailed the inside passage to Alaska? I've had the opportunity to do that twice from Puget Sound to Whittier in Prince William Sound and it's an incredible trip. Well worth putting on your bucket list if you get the chance. Good luck with the search. You will eventually find what your looking for even if it's not a boat.. 🙂 Thanks for the video. Search On!
We've done sections but not the entire thing. We even worked a summer in Prince Williams Sound.
Nick and Meghan, so great to see you guys in Grenada. Sad that the boat didn’t work out, but keep at it, the right boat WiLL come along. Great video as always, sorry for photo bombing you guys! 😂 Can’t wait to see you guys out here soon !
Great to see you too! We’ll meet up with our own boat next time.
Keep it up guys, the harder you work the luckier you get and you guys are getting really lucky
Thanks Jeff, we miss you guys!! It should happen any day now!
The genuine smiles on your faces are evidence to me that you will succeed.
Not going to lie....hearin my name and my wife's name "Holly and Ray" being said in this video makes me want to finally learn to sail. Motivation.
Loved the video...looks like the boat search is becoming or has been a travel adventure. I know it has been hard on you guys but someone has to suffer through it. Here's to finally finding success.
We've been having a lot of fun. Life is good.
I believe in you guys! It will happen when its meant to happen.
🔥🔥You'll find your boat 🔥🔥
I was watching intensely and then she said sourdough tortillas, what??? There's such a thing? Must learn more... help. Oh yea boats. now about those sourdough tortillas?....
Thanks to Sabato, keep the faith O'Kellys, I keep saying it.
I want the recipe for sourdough tortillas.....please and pretty please. 😊 Sourdough bread is the only bread we eat. Thanks. ☺️
Love Port Townsend. Had some of our best Dungeoness Crabs there right off the boat. Niiiiiiice downtown. 😊
Not sure if you need a video idea but I would love to know what the various cruising calendars look like. Carribean, The Med, South Pac, etc. Also, what the offseason looks like. Maintenance, drydocking (frequency), etc. Thanks.
I really like your videos.
Keep going
Will try
Well SHUCKS!! I was hoping this deal would be successfull-but we are ALL glad you are keeping your standards high and not settling for 2nd rate!! Nice to see you back on the water tho!!
GREAT VID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have fun Kiddies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..........lol...............keep on Truck'n........she's out there some where!!!!!!!!!!!! Tim
So happy to see you again you guys. Happy Travels.
Thanks so much!
You made me watch all the way to the end of the video. I am crossing my fingers for you!
Port Townsend looks really cool! It's now on my list of places to visit.
thank you for staying upbeat not sure how you do it! best wishes and be blessed.
Regardless of the outcome - your vids are always entertaining. Good luck with it all.
Can you do a video that explains why it’s such a challenge to find a boat? Is it that sellers are still looking for Covid pricing? Is it that most boats are neglected from the lack of education/trade skill shortage? One of the best parts of your channels are the technical details you give. After years of studying your videos, i look forward to paying for a consultation(s) as we get closer.
Yeeaaahyyy new version of Tacos and a good time. That alone is worth the trip 😄
Indeed. Tacos save the day
O'Kelly's hi from Calgary Alberta. I can't believe it this has to be some kind of record however I'm sure that's no comfort for your disappointment and frustration. You're such great people and all this BS to find a boat. However I respect your ability to know when the number isn't right or there is just too much work to bring a boat up to your standards. It's a great lesson for others be able to walk away. But the upside, when and you will find your next boat it is going to be so GREAT.
I've been fortunate to spend quite a bit of time enjoying Port Townsend too love it there.
Keeping my fingers crossed for you.
Thank you. The right thing will happen. Strange times
I feel like the O’Kelly’s global tour of airports and ferry terminals is coming to a close. “What was un-usable” … the whole boat 😅
OK O'Kelley's carry on. Happy to see you.
More to come!
Loved your Galloping Gertie footage.
From all the boats you’ve been looking at and rejecting I’m guessing you either need to raise the budget or lower expectations.
And another one bites the dust, translation; another boat falls face 1st into the dust trying to become the chosen one of our World Class sailing couple!!!!!! Will they remain undefeated, like Floyd Mayweather? Or will one of these would be contenders finally step up for a win? Stay tuned as this journey takes us around the world, "maybe 5 times." Great content, thank you.
Thankyou ,❤ all the best .
awww - you were in my stomping grounds
I really thought you had it this time, best of luck on your search !
i know what its like trying to find the right boat , i am looking at 2014 52' lagoon tomorrow if we can agree on a price i,am taking it.👍
Flavicol is the boss. Only way top make popcorn.
Yessss🙌🏼
I love Grenada. I hope to sail down there by end of summer if my friend can find parts for his Sherman tank diesel engines up in Toronto. If you are still there, take a cruise up to Les Tantes islands. There is a tiny island that has broken off from the large island - North of it. The small island has a really neat natural pool, actually 2 others, but this one you can swim in. The pool was created by the rocks that have broken off from the main island that created a 'wall' from the crashing Atlantic waves. Approach the island from the South of it, because it has a nice little bay. Use a dingy to get in, not a boat. If you do this trip, then bring some fresh water for the squatters on Rhonde Island. You don't need to beach - they will come out. Excellent fishing there too. West of Les Tantes is 'the spot' to catch them.
Are you really looking for a boat or just enjoying looking? The suspense is agonising!
Alright!! Watching now!!!
Been missing you. Stay happy and well.
Thank you!
You looked so happy to be on the water! Though my favorite part was Nick making friends with the swabbie at Anacortes. Those old Navy guys don’t talk much, still they’re good listeners.
Follow the Wynns. You so obviously miss boating life and the camaraderie associated with it. Fingers still crossed for that one true love maybe not around the first corner ( you rounded three already) but somewhere just this side of the horizon. 😎😊
I am going to have to watch this again because I still can’t figure out if the first 2/3 are sarcasm. Tho my confusion may be due to having previously watched Jesse Enkamp’s just posted over-the-top…in-our-face sarcasm on his “dojo closure.”
By the way, the triple hat airport shots look JUST like PDX! Keep up the good work ! 😍
Haven't been to Port Townsend for maybe twenty-some-odd years ago. Nice place. Long drive from anywhere to get there. :-)
Missed you guys! Good luck in the future.
Thank you!!
I must have missed something, I waited to the end and still no boat 😢. Keep looking, there is one out there. Andy UK
My little 2 cents worth. Well meaning Patreons could be chatting up a seller about you and what great people you are and knowledge of sailing. Sellers might only hear YT channel and think ohhh those people have a lot of money they can spend on a boat and see $$$$. Not the patreons fault but unintentionally putting you at a disadvantage before you get off the plane to see the boat. If nothing else, you are providing valuable lessons to new boat buyers to not jump in too soon on a boat.
Who knows. I'm sure everyone means well. Just not a lot on the market in the design category we are looking for, and what we are finding is that what is for sale frequently isn't in good condition.
Love the REIGNITE❣️
I’m stealing the “when one hatch shuts, another one opens” saying
Just saw an amazing cat for sale on La Vagabonde - reduced from 4 million to 1.9 million
I was just thinking haven’t heard from the OKellys lately. Then this dropped.
Thankyou 👍
Well that was a bit of a damp squb! More time discussing the merits of sour dough tortillas than the merits of the various boats. Quite watchable but I can only take so much tension on a 'sailing' channel. I may fast forward to the end of the next one.........!
I'm curious about how much you've spent in your search for your new boat? Do you sometimes consider buying a new boat like a Seawind and save yourselves from all the hassle? (aka Ruby Rose 2 and Tula's Endless Summer)
No, we'd never buy a new boat. We might design and have one built one day.
@@TheOKellysnow that’s a boat I’d be very interested in hearing more about! After such an exhaustive (and exhausting) search it’d be awesome to hear about the design brief.
Awesome to get an update! @0.40 "We do have ""Clarity"" on it 😉. Surprised you guys haven't been flat out with charters, or at min others asking you join them on a crossing. Would have liked the last couple of cats vaga been on, perhaps outta both our price range tho (unfortunately). Now Nick... don't want to hurt ur feelings, but we need to discuss that hat.
The bucket hat? Ma gave that to me.
Oh man the bait and switch on the price on the Seattle boat would have had me furious! Your zen is admirable 🫶🏻. The Granada boat, the 41 questions for the seller, I wish there was a way to get those answers before you had to fly all the way down there 😢. On the upside, it was so great to see you both happy and out sailing again! Hopefully we’ll meet in a sunny anchorage someday, appropriately anchored far away from each other 😅
Lol, we don’t bite. With these old boats, you don’t know what questions to ask until you get there. You can’t smell the cat urine until you get there…and he broker certainly won’t tell ya!
Cruising the San Juan Islands myself August 19 thru 27. Might even go to Canada!
Beautiful part of the world! Enjoy!
Hi you two boat searchers. I can’t recall if you have searched “ Just Catamarans “ ? They have a nice selection of boats on their website and they are located near Fort Lauderdale.
Did not know you grew up in Port Townsend. I called it home from 1998 until 2014. Wow...what a coincidence.
Good Hunting
Is that Holly and Ray?
👋🏼❤
Continue continue (yes, I know I said that twice) to love your channel. Just curious though, in hindsight, do you ever wish you would not have sold your previous boat? Regardless, I think great days are ahead. Thank you for the adventure.
At times we really miss Clarity, but a lot of awesomeness came of that decision, so, no regrets
